On May 28, 2015,The
Washington Post reportedthatthe
D.C. government has voted $35,000 to help pay for a feasibility study of
an aerial passenger gondola to link Georgetown with Rosslyn. The
Georgetown Business Improvement District (BID) is raising funds to cover the
study's estimated $200,000 total cost.

A conceptual image provided by the
BID to the Post appears
to show that the gondola line might pass over the C&O Canal National
Historical Park. The potential effects of this proposal on the canal park
and its historical and scenic surroundings should be carefully considered.
